Did you ever want to eat a rainbow, but a sesame one? Yeah, me too. THIS is my answer to that most vexing of problems. I stole the Sesame Sauce recipe from my newest cookbook (FOOD LOVE), and simplified my Sesame Tofu recipe from RHIW. Hope you love it!

1. Make the sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk the arrowroot with a little bit of the water until it’s smooth and no lumps remain. Add the remaining water and other ingredients and set over medium heat. Continue to whisk over heat until it becomes thicker in consistency. Remove from heat when lightly thickened and set aside (still in the saucepan, but not over heat).

3.Make the tofu: Cut the tofu into eight slabs. Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Remove the tofu and cut into triangles that are about two inches in size. Place the pieces in a single layer on a plate. Evenly sprinkle the tamari and garlic granules over the tofu, turning the pieces to coat all sides. Place the seeds, cornmeal, and flour in a large plastic bag and shake well to combine. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Place several of the tofu triangles in the bag and gently shake to thoroughly coat the tofu with the breading. When the oil in the pan becomes hot, add the tofu in a single layer. When the tofu pieces are golden brown and crisp on the bottom, turn them over. When both sides are crisp and golden, remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the tofu has been used up.

4. While the tofu is in process, you can get the rest of this dish together. Cook the soba noodles according to the directions on their package (they cook quickly, so check them often!). Steam the broccoli until bright green and crisp-tender. If necessary, gently reheat the sauce.

5. Assemble your delicious rainbows: In each bowl, place some noodles, tofu, and the veggies. Drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. ENJOY!
